Today is a very proud day for me. I won the 'Tin Water Boy' award for losing 26 balls to water hazards

Quote from TypeRacing :

Only in Germany. Rally car drives off the track and fails to join the road. Then the real action begins. Track marshals are trying to keep spectators away from the car. See it for yourself.

It's health & safety gone mad!

Quote from IsaacPrice :

Would people question Rosbergs racing brain? Yes I think so. He lost a piece of his front wing and would have lost valuable points to Hamilton. Obviously it wouldn't have been as big a drama fest as it has been though.

While Hamilton, of course, has never been involved in any clumsy collisions which have resulted in damage to his own car and cost him points...

Quote from Intrepid :

Bahrain is irrelevant. And Hamilton still won't think twice about putting a move on Rosberg because all Rosberg has done is prove he is a wimp. He hasn't got he balls to do a proper move.

Haha, OK.

Quote from Intrepid :

He wasn't pushed off the track. He put his car in a really stupid place that it was inevitable he'd (lightly) hit Hamilton car. That's being stupid. He wasn't 'pushed' off.

He was in Bahrain and if he hadn't stood his ground at Spa he probably would have been later in the season. Despite what you think I reckon Hamilton will now think twice before taking it for granted that Rosberg will back out.

Quote from Intrepid :

The problem is Hamilton didn't give him any shit. Hamilton didn't do anything aggressive, anything out of the ordinary.

Haha, good one. Look, Hamilton's conduct, both on and off the track, is a terrible parody of Senna. Senna is Hamilton's idol and has been for a long time. He thinks that if he plays psychological games (e.g. 'I wish you could see Rosberg's data [from Monaco qualifying], 'Rosberg isn't really German', 'Rosberg lacks hunger'), ignores team orders (e.g. using an engine mode he wasn't supposed to in order to try and gain an unfair advantage over Rosberg) and drives too aggressively, in particular at the Bahrain GP (where he over-stepped the line at least once and probably two or three times). Rosberg has to try and show that he's not going to stand for being pushed off the track again. It just so happened that this time the contact cut Hamilton's tyre, but that's the luck of the draw. As mentioned above, how many times have we seen similar sort of contact this year without any real impact?

Quote from IsaacPrice :

No, when you go off the track you have to rejoin SAFELY, not just at the earliest opportunity. Once he was off the track, he had to rejoin safely - not at the earliest possible opportunity and continue to attempt to overtake Hamilton.

Given how much kerb drivers have been taking in the last few years perhaps Maldonado thought he would be able to run over them and keep control of the car. At the point where he attempts to rejoin there would have been about enough space to make the move stick, as Hamilton jinked right. The understeer as the car bottoms out on the kerb is the reason why it looks like Maldonado t-boned Hamilton. If he was really trying to t-bone him why would he have about 90 degrees of left steering lock in the car at the time?

Quote from IsaacPrice :

it isn't the same as Spa 2014.

Hence why I said:

Quote from amp88 :

I know this clip isn't a direct comparison to the incident on the weekend (because in this clip Maldonado is in a much better position), but it's worth posting anyway, as an example of Hamilton's inability to handle certain situations.

edit: Incidentally, I do believe Rosberg should take the majority of the blame for the incident at the weekend. However, I also think it was important for him to establish the fact that he won't take Hamilton's shit any more.

Quote from IsaacPrice :

And that makes it okay to t-bone the other car into the wall?

No, when you get pushed off track and can't control your car because of the kerbs it's not exactly your fault.

Quote from IsaacPrice :

Yes but that incident is also probably Maldonado's fault, he tried to rejoin the track

Hamilton pushed him off track.

Hamilton and Maldonado Valencia 2012. I know this clip isn't a direct comparison to the incident on the weekend (because in this clip Maldonado is in a much better position), but it's worth posting anyway, as an example of Hamilton's inability to handle certain situations.

Hello there, i'm an old demo player (around 3 years i guess)

...

-Add More Cars

...

As a fan of this game that all i would like to see

Perhaps if you were really a fan of this simulator you'd buy a license, rather than continuing to use the demo for 3 years. That would open up a large number of options for you (tracks, cars, maybe more online action).

More dodgy track limits policing today. Vettel was taking the piss at a few corners on a load of laps. Rosberg was 'asked' to give back a place after getting the position by going off track, but Button did the same thing later to pass Perez and there was no investigation. Pathetic.

Grats, Zeug

Looking forward to the next tourney.

I lost 2 good balls and got a quadruple bogey at the 1st hole in the first part of this tournament. Deko, you sadist!

Got very lucky in a Blitz game at St. Andrews. If it hadn't gone in it would probably have run on 10-15 feet past the pin.

I'm amp888 on there. Just started yesterday, but enjoying it. Have sent a request to deko's country club.

Quote from McGherkin :

Makes you wonder what's happened to Rockingham, seeing as it's essentially complete in those videos. There's certainly no real technical reason why we couldn't be driving it now.

I suspect the reason is more legal, since V1 stopped using LFS, and the opportunity to put Rockingham ingame came through them.

I'd love to know the real reason behind it all from scawen etc.

Quote from DejaVu :

Either way that other guy is a stupid dumbass for getting out and walking down further onto the track, idiot.

If you're going to speak ill of the dead with such disrespect, at least use the correct tense.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Apparently there is this new piece of runoff in spa too. I was watching blancpain race and noticed there is now tarmac runoff on the exit/entry in Blanchimont.
On the right side in 2:45:

I dunno. My gut feeling is that they have ruined that corner. Before that runoff/extra room was put there the corner was a lot more tricky to get right and to see when to turn in into the corner but now it is so much easier to just go flatout when there is more room on the entry .

The extra tarmac on entry has been there since at least last year. Obviously it ruined the track so much you never noticed it...

Quote from nacim :

But it can be an option, for example /radio on a server, not forced song, and why not an option in the Audio menu 'Allow server to play songs' [yes/no]

The music licensing/copyright problem remains (and is the larger hurdle...).

There would probably be serious licensing issues surrounding this type of streaming capability being part of LFS (just look at the the unfolding Twitch/muting VODs with copyrighted music furore). If you really want to stream music on the server you can do so using 3rd party applications, but obviously that relies on all your visitors choosing to listen to your music stream. Incidentally, I wouldn't enjoy the server I was on being able to control what I listen to. Some people wouldn't want to listen to any music at all and others would like to listen to their own choice of music.
